Hi guys,
I've got just a quick question, I'm comming from an HTC Desire phone so I'm use to flashing things etc...
I've been using leedroid rom on Desire for the lightness and simplicity of his rom, close to stock ones. Since Desire S has no need for A2SD I was thinking staying on stock roms, I'm juste looking for speed and stability.
But I discovered my operator gave me a wonderful brand rom (Bouygue FR) so I've S-Off, Root, and I'm now about to flash shipped HTC europe rom to get an official HTC rom, then I'm planing to make OTA update as normally but I was wondering, is there any way to get root on the HTC rom ?
I'm not too confident with flashing all the roms available with sense 3.0 etc...
I need a stable and easy to use phone.
Can someone help me ?
thanks
I'm sorry, but I don't have much information to give you on completing your goal, but I can point you in the right direction.
I would start here.

Hi whats the best way to root phone and keep it all stock, I just want to root to enable the side loading of apps and remove att bloatware.I know If I use hack tool it installs a desire rom. I came from the captivate which was a lot less difficult to root/install roms, so Im still learning thanks
There is no way to root without downgrading to a rootable rom. After you have rooted you can load one of the roms that is just rooted stock
sent from some device with some software.
Ok thanks thats what I was afraid of, ok can you recommend a stable rom that resembles stock I see in your using Android revolution.
Android revolution is Stock, but it's desire HD stock. I am actually on Digi1af's sense ROM. It's rooted stock (lightly themed) with all of the bloat removed with some very nice speed enhancements.

I would only recommend going back to stock using an RUU if you are returning the phone to HTC for warranty repair. Running these will un-root your phone. Is that what you are doing?
If you simply don't find CM7 to your liking, there are plenty of custom ROMs that are very close to stock that you could flash, and still maintain root.
Which are you going for?
Edit: If you just want to go back to a stock experience without going the RUU path, I'd look at this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357992
Based of the stock 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 ROM, with some speed/stability improvements and tweaks and bloatware removed.

hi guys,
Im new to sensation XE and I have few questions about it.
first of all, its not my mobile its my girlfriends so i dont really have access to it 24/7 as i would like to it runs 2.3.4 sens 3.0
ive been reading through the process of rooting and different roms just to have everything clear before i start to mess about with it lol
right so.... which rom would you recommend ( very stable as she s a girl and fast cos she s a geek too ) ?
is there any other difference between sens 3 and 3.5 apart from panorama mode??
and finally, is it possible to undervolt it in the CWM or just through the setvsel ??
one more thinng i forgot about .....is swype available on sensation? i ve seen trace thing on her phone but couldnt really get it working ( only 2 mins of trying as she had to go to work )
thanks a lot for help
regards,
There are many stable Roms... Sense 3.5 is minor improvement in ui from 3.0... I like 3.5 more
there are several stable ROMs... I like insertcoin and stock by Eddy the most though most have proven to be very good and stable...
To underclock you have to flash custom kernels...like faux and bricked kernel...
Faux kernel comes built-in ARHD ROM... Many others have custom roms... RCmix and elegancia Roms are awesome too.. Not to forget the ARHD which has its own beauty...
You can install any ROM with stock kernel and flash custom kernel..
For girls i would suggest you stick to Stock kernel... I found that most stable and gives good battery life...
thanks a lot it looks like the process is a bit different to my moto defy ( happy owner ) ...btw is it the same as on moto defy that if you flash newest stock rom there is no chance of downgrading ?
so there is no chance of undervolting and overclocking the stock rom with stock kernel ?
do you know where i can download a stock rom from just in case something would go wrong??
sorry for so many questions
Rooting S-off is the simplest procedure... There are several guides to do that in Android development.. Follow the one by x-Viper-x
Make sure you are on hboot 1.8 or below...
Here is guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
There is no downgrading problem...u can easily shift from sense 3.5 to 3.0 (2.3.5 to 2.3.4) but Only if you upgrade your hboot by flashing latest RUU, you can't downgrade that...
Just don't flash official RUU roms .. They can be flashed for warranty sake only... ONLY flash stock Rooted roms by EddyOS if you want pure stock experience without upgrading hboot/radio...
Here are Eddyos stock rooted ROM threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=1852412
If you really want official RUU then follow the thread below... Find your radio, software version and match with files on site, download and flash it...but it will relock (s-on) your device..and latest ones might upgrade your hboot... Then revolutionary method might not work to s-off...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1074559
Stock kernels can't be underclocked ...only customs have the ability and u can overclock that too
Thanks a lot jjdoctor, i wanted to ask about RUU roms but you ve made it already a bit clearer
although the stock kernel cannot be undervolted, can I install some mods on it ? suck as 1% step battery or change a battery icon or install amaze camera ??
thanks again and im going to read some more stuff
Hi, I have recently rooted my Desire S, with revolutionary, clockwork etc, and I currently ported this rom HTC_DESIRE_S_2.3.5-2.10.401.4.zip
Everything is working just fine, but theoretically, when I decide to port a new rom, how would I know which will work, and which won't?
Actually, I'm waiting until ICS is released for desire s, so I can find it and install it...
Are there any methods to identify which rom would be compatible?
Thank you!

hey mate
your're actually talking about two different things: porting a ROM and flashing a ROM.
Porting means, you take a ROM from another device and modify it so it works on your device too.
flashing means, you take a ROM which is already optimized for your device
and install it, so you wipe the stock firmware and get a custom rom.
which of the two things is what you want to do? i think its just the flashing.
so you can take any ROM from the "development section", and if you follow the guides that you can find everywhere here im sure you will be succesfull and happy with it.
bytheway
there is no "best" ROM for your device. it all depends on what you need and want. there are alot sense 3.5 Roms, Endymion 3.4 is the one i would recommend. you can also try AOSP ROMs (android open source project, means no sense), cyanogenmod7 could be a good first choice. and you can also try ics right now, since there are at least 3 (?) ICS AOSP ROMs right now:
CM9, Virtuous Quattro RC3, IceColdSandwich
have fun!
Yes I meant "flashing" a rom
Thanks for all the information. That's the general idea I have as well, however I had this question because after I flashed another rom (official rom through htc sync - that could have been the problem) over my first flashed one , the phone was "bricked"....

i would never recommend to flash an official ROM over a custom ROM. But anyways, i think if you would have done a full wipe before flashing the official rom you wouldnt have got a "you call it brick"
a real "BRICK" is a useless phone, where there is no way to use it again.if there is still a way, its no brick.. but who cares about definitions
I recommend you to flash the ROMs only through recovery mode. AND ALWAYS DO A FULL WIPE BEFORE FLASHING A NEW ROM. very important
and dont forget to backup as always
Yes you are absolutely right. I'll have that in mind the next time I'll decide to flash a new one
Yeah the device wasn't completely useless, it hanged at boot...but I guess that was due to not following the right procedure as you previously described..
Thanks eyahl
Start flashing different roms and trying them for a day or two. First
Sens 3.0 and then sense 3.5 roms to see the difference. Only then you will know which rom is best for you.
+1 for Endymion 3.4,
+1 for Endymion
Swyped from my Desire S using XDA Premium
+1 Endymion
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
edymion, will try it
+1266592.23 for Endymion

Each ROM type suits different personal tastes, so there isn't an 'best' ROM for everyone. Trial and Error which ones suit you!
General opinions:
Stock
Pro: Straight from HTC, *newest kernel/drivers*, least likely to have compatibility issues.
Cons: HTC is slow to release updates, and sense interface is usually resource hungry.
Sense-like
Pro: usually keep the Sense interface, but custom kernals offer speed / various other improvements.Runnymead versions are kernals ported across from HTC Sensation (which offer some of the goodies like Beats Audio etc. that were not originally developed for Saga.
Cons: Sense interface is resource hungry...
CyanogenMod based
Pro: offer lots of customisations
Cons: not the most user friendly
AOSP
Pro: Roms from the android source, usually less resource hungry, so lighter and faster.
Cons: Obviously, no sense.
ICS Alpha/Beta
Not strictly a new category, but builds from the new Android 4.0 (ICS).
Currently some things (like camera) isn't fully working yet.
Note: new Desire S may suffer from camera/video lag bug with non-stock / non-sense ROMs, this is due to HTC putting in new hardware / driver into the new DS phones and the other kernels not reflecting this change yet.
Personally, I use SenseMOD Lite V1.2 build 2 as it is one of the few AOSP like builds that don't have the camera bug. Oxygen would have been best choice for me but unfortunately camera bug makes it unusable.
Hey guys. I don't want to drive over your feet, but I think the OP is already very satisfied with all those replies. specially the post above is really trying to help, but you spend much time to type what has already been written on the first page.
I appreciate your intend to help, bit I think the OP isn't gonna read this anymore..
Btw: endy!...

Greetings,
I have an HTC Sensation and its currently using the Revolution ROM. I want to install a stock rom that will allow me to use BeatsAudio, has the latest ICS version and Sense version. I would also like to be able to get updates from HTC directly - the way it was before I installed the custom ROM.
Can someone point me to a ROM I have to install ?
I cant seem to find what I want..
Thanks in advance.
Well to be able topping you in the right direction you need to post the following.
Are you S-off or HTC Dev unlocked?
Are you running Gingerbread or ICS right now.
Are you Super CID, and if not who is your carrier?
it is always there in Sensation Android Development section.
I am a newbie myself but I advise you to use the search button before asking next time.
